Tony Abbott adds humor and wacky antics to the familiar classics we know and love by catapulting two unlikely heroes into known story lines and making classic literature accessible and fun. The sixth-grade characters Frankie and Devin bring these time-tested stories into the world of today's kids, while encouraging readers to reach for the original books.

Frankie and Devin never expected to become Shakespeare experts until they are launched into the romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. But this time, instead of just acing their book report, they learn a hard lesson about love and sacrifice.
